This little Black-capped Chickadee seemed to be quite confused at seeing another Chickadee looking at it from its own reflection within the garden spot light . It would peck at it, then fly away, but each time it returned it would see its reflection once again..The 'Black-capped Chickadee' is my contribution today to Camera Critters. My appreciative thanks to Misty for hosting this site. To see other participant's photo contributions just click HERE or on the Camera Critters logo on the side panel.

Cute capture! He looks like he just got up - bed head. Speaking of, I used to see a occasional chickadees in winter in High Country with bent tails, and mentioned it to a friend who said that in the cold Alberta winters, chickadees sleep communally in tree hollows, and those with the bent tails would have spent the night on the outer edge of the 'ball of birds' with their tails pressed against the trunk. I don't know if he was pulling my leg with that story, I've never had it verified. I think I have mixed feelings about wanting to know if it isn't true, it's such a sweet explanation.

There are 63 covered bridges in the province of New Brunswick and I love finding them in those 'out of the way' places. I have photographed most all of them, with only about 4 or 5 yet to locate. I still have many photos yet to post on my New Brunswick Covered Bridges blog. If you would like to visit and see more pictures of Covered Bridges, just click on the picture above.
